Chapter 183 Dispersed
Draco and Harry looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Time passed by one minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Harry finally broke the silence, "We've separated from them." He spoke calmly, his eyes scanning the surroundings. They were the only two people here, and the narrow alley seemed a little eerie.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who had entered before them, had already disappeared, and Hermione and Pansy, who were supposed to come in later, had not yet arrived. This made Draco worried.
He knew that Hermione and Pansy couldn't suddenly change their minds and not come. So what was the problem?
Draco's eyes widened in disbelief. This situation was completely beyond his expectations.
He was not worried about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, after all, they were very powerful, but he was worried about Hermione and Pansy.
Could it be because there are three world consciousnesses? Although he gave them items that could protect their own safety, he couldn't help but worry when he thought of Pansy's simple character.
If she met someone like Dazai Osamu or Fyodor, she would definitely be fooled around, and might even be sold out and have to help others count the money!
"Draco!"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Draco's mind. The owner of the voice was Ian, who had not appeared for some time.
Hearing Ian's voice, Draco couldn't help but frowned, and asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Ian? Where are Hermione and Pansy?"
For Draco, although he likes to explore the unknown, he does not like those unknowns that he cannot control. At this moment, his heart is full of worries.
"They're safe in Detective Conan's world. And they just happened to meet some kindhearted people," Ian's voice resonated. He had just delivered a harsh lesson to the three world consciousnesses of this fused world.
Of course, Ian didn't act alone. He also contacted Zhu. Then he said, "I contacted Zhu. After Fushiguro Shier agrees, we will send Fushiguro Shier there as well."
"Well...that place is indeed safe." After hearing this, Draco's worries were slightly relieved and he nodded with confidence.
Harry looked at Draco suspiciously, and couldn't help but wonder, "A world where one person dies for every step they take, and they bomb Tokyo Tower today and the Twin Towers tomorrow, can really be called safe?"
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that compared to the other two worlds, this place is indeed safer, after all, Fushiguro Shigeru is going there with him.
Moreover, judging from the defensive gear Hermione and Pansy were wearing, they would be fine even if they were at the center of the explosion.
"Okay, in that case, then you tell Hermione and the others to let them play without worry. I will take care of everything." Draco breathed a sigh of relief, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.
"So, what is going on in this world?" After Draco confirmed the safety of Pansy and Hermione, he finally began to pay attention to the world itself.
"Simply put, the consciousness of the Bungo Stray Dogs world is missing its core, preventing it from fully unleashing its power. While its power may be greater than the other two worlds, its actual performance is greatly reduced."
Ian silently felt sorry for these world consciousnesses, and sighed in his heart: "Oh, Draco seems a little angry."
"Because each world consciousness instinctively wants to avoid being swallowed by the other world consciousnesses, even though they have merged, the time of these three worlds is still chaotic. Therefore, they can only exist in three separate areas without interfering with each other."
"Among them, K's home base is in Tokyo; Detective Conan's home base is in Beika-cho; and Bungo Stray Dogs' home base is in Yokohama."
"Originally, the inhabitants of these three worlds lived in harmony and peace. However, as you know, there are always some characters whose wisdom exceeds the limits of what the world can accommodate, and so..."
"So, they noticed something was wrong," Draco said calmly.
"That's right. The balance between the worlds has been broken. At this moment, they are eager to complete the fusion, but their respective world lines are facing serious problems." Ian agreed with Draco's point of view.
"Heh." Draco chuckled, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "Do they think we're the last straw that can save them? They drag us into a different realm without even discussing it with us?"
"Yes! They've gone too far. I've already taught them a lesson. Don't be unhappy, Draco." Ian frowned angrily. He was angry at those who disrespected Draco.
These world consciousnesses seem to only regard Draco as a tool, but do not know that he is also an individual with emotions and thoughts. On the one hand, they need Draco, but on the other hand, they do not respect Draco. This behavior is simply unbearable.
Draco glanced at Ian with amusement, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that Ian would always stand by him, which made him feel extremely warm.
"Don't worry, we will find a solution. The most important thing now is that we stay calm and don't let our emotions get the better of us."
Harry listened quietly to the conversation between Ian and Draco, his eyes never leaving his surroundings.
"I think we should be in Yokohama," Harry muttered, and walked towards the alley. He leaned out carefully and observed the situation outside.
Draco followed Harry to the alley entrance. They looked in the direction Harry pointed and saw five black buildings standing out in the distance, looking particularly abrupt.
"Is that the port mafia?" Draco asked curiously.
"Well, that should be right." Harry nodded. "Next, we have to be careful and try to avoid attracting unnecessary attention."
"With Dumbledore and Grindelwald's abilities, there will be no problem in World K." Harry said after thinking for a moment.
Before setting off, they had done their homework and had a certain understanding of the conditions in each world. Based on the information they had, Dumbledore and Grindelwald should be able to cope with the challenges of World K.
"Well, for K, all he needs to do is make sure that Totoro survives." Draco continued, "But, there might be some trouble on Conan's side..." He remembered that people die almost every day in Conan's world, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"Indeed," Harry said worriedly. "Conan's in a very complicated world. I hope everything goes well for them."
"Don't worry, the world consciousness will communicate with them and enable them to use the time jump method." Ian understood Draco and Harry's concerns and comforted them.
"That's no problem. As for Bungo Stray Dogs, why didn't we encounter the world consciousness?" Harry breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then suddenly thought of something.
Ian was silent for a moment, then said, "Well... actually, it's because Bungo Stray Dogs' world consciousness is quite special. Half of its body was captured by Dazai Osamu from another world, so it's now in a state of autism."
Draco and Harry looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
They haven't read the comics, but only know a little about the anime, and don't know what Dazai Osamu is like in the sub-world.
"Now K is when Totsukado Tadara is still alive, but Mushiko has already boarded the airship. As for Detective Conan, it's now when the five-member group has just graduated." Ian decided to change the subject.
After all, the world consciousness book of the Wenye world is really useless, and he is afraid that Draco and Harry will misunderstand him.
"So what's next?" Harry asked.
"Let's take a look at this world first. I have some ideas, but I still need to meet some people." Draco suggested.
Ian nodded in agreement.
"The others won't have much of a problem." Harry felt that Bungo Stray Dogs was the most difficult to deal with among the three worlds.
"Well, there shouldn't be any problems over there. Hermione is very smart." Draco trusted his friends very much.
"What's our time here?" Harry asked. To be honest, he hoped it was a timeline that was a little earlier, otherwise... Dazai Osamu was really difficult to deal with.
"...It was... It was the time when Nakajima Atsushi was about to join the detective agency..." Ian had read Bungo Stray Dogs and felt inexplicably guilty. He was hesitating whether he should wait and read another book.
After all, if this book wasn't so useless and hadn't been obtained by the humans in their world, then time skipping would be nothing more than a small matter. He felt a little suffocated, as if he couldn't breathe properly.
Well, I'll go read some books later.
"It's okay, Ian. You know, I have many tricks up my sleeve," Draco consoled him. He patted Ian's shoulder, telling him not to worry.
"I don't know to what extent I'll have to change this, but if it really doesn't work, I can just kill everyone. That way the world will change, right?" Draco said seriously, seemingly unaware of how terrifying this statement sounded.
Harry nodded in agreement. Although they could ignore the chaotic state of this merged world and forcibly return to their original world, returning empty-handed was clearly not in their style.
Moreover, they have been looking forward to this adventure for a long time, so how could they give up easily?
Ian thought it made sense. Shu eavesdropped for a long time, trembling in fear. He counted his small stash of money to see if he could buy his life.
The book did not doubt whether Draco and the others could do it. If he looked down on Draco and the others at the beginning, he agreed to the request for contact only for the sake of Ian (the big guys behind him).
But after seeing Draco with his own eyes, he no longer had that superior mentality.
If that dense aura belonging to a high position really descends, not only his world, but also this fused world will be reduced to ashes!
He has never been so sincere as he is now.
"Once the world lines of the three worlds are broken to a certain extent, the worlds will begin to slowly merge, and then everyone can be reunited~" Ian flashed in Draco's mind.
Draco smiled indulgently. World line, this is a sure thing.
Ian thought to himself that when the time was right, he would teach those three world consciousnesses a lesson again to vent Draco's anger.
At the same time, he also reminded the world consciousness of the Detective Conan world to take good care of Pansy and others.
As for Dumbledore and the others... well, let these old guys exercise more. It's not a bad thing for them anyway.
But why did he have to beat up World K's consciousness? Uh... couldn't he just do it because he felt like it? Besides, Ian was a world consciousness that treated everyone equally and would never take sides!
"I can't stay here for long, but I'll keep an eye on you." Ian said goodbye to Draco and Harry with a happy face, and then left as quickly as he came.
"Where are we going next?" Harry held Draco's hand tightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
"Let's go to the Armed Detective Agency first. I want to confirm some things." Draco was thinking about Dazai Osamu, and he wanted to go and see him in person.
Being able to grasp the half of the world consciousness is not something that ordinary people can do. This person must have extraordinary abilities and unique qualities.
While watching this anime, even though Nakajima Atsushi looked like the main character of the story, Draco always had a feeling that Dazai Osamu was more like the real protagonist.
This view may be surprising, but it is not without basis.
On the surface, Nakajima Atsushi does play an important role; however, if you look closely at the development of the plot, you will find that Dazai Osamu's presence seems to run through the whole story, as if he is a key figure hidden behind the scenes.
His wisdom, cunning, and complex relationships with various forces made Draco very interested in him.
Therefore, it can be said that one of them is the protagonist in the open, while the other is the protagonist hidden in the dark.
They each influence the direction of the story in different ways, which makes the plot more colorful, full of suspense and surprises.
But this world is the real world, and Draco wants to see if those people are different from what he remembers.
As for how to get there? Although they didn't know the address, the Armed Detective Agency was well-known in Yokohama.
So they... took a taxi there.
After giving the driver a gold Galleon, Draco and Harry got out of the car under the driver's greedy gaze.
When Harry got out of the car, he looked back at the driver. The cold gaze made the driver sober up a lot, and the pure murderous intent made the driver feel like he was falling into an ice cave and unable to move.
It was not until Harry looked away that the driver left as if he had been pardoned.
"Oh~ someone interesting is coming~" Not far away, the man with black hair and bright eyes took in everything that just happened. Although he was smiling, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
